Accessible assessment : how 9 sensible techniques can power data-driven reading instruction
Michael F. Opitz (Author), Michael P. Ford, James A. Erekson
"Accessible Assessment isn't like many of today's complex, time-consuming assessment programs. It combines nine informal techniques into a manageable, calendarized framework that makes sense and drives highly targeted, differentiated instruction. Opitz, Ford, and Erekson help teachers: measure only what matters most ; assess with the confidence that comes from a strong research base ; increase consistency and organization across school years, grades, and buildings ; implement predictable assessment structures flexibly ; plan short-, medium-, and long-range instructional goals. Accessible Assessment can make a big difference for individual teachers, but it's even more powerful for teaching teams or entire buildings. It can bring a new level of coherence to any crucial assessment task, including: screening, progress monitoring, and diagnostics for RTI ; assessing for key reading standards (including Common Core) ; sharing information with colleagues, administrators, and parents."--Publisher's website
